Last post before waiting for a reply... This is with foo_discogger:
If I search for the first time I get the JSON error detailed above. When I click search a second time, a modal window "Release format mismatch" pops up which I cannot close and foobar2000 then becomes unresponsive.

That´s weird... maybe you are running more than one Foobar 2000 instance at once?

Here is a minor foo_discogs v2.23 (32bits) update.
Tested most releases reported in previous posts and it seems to fix the JSON error.

foo_discogs v2.23 061024.zip

Change log:
- Fixed: Error loading release: JSON Parser Exception Array assertion failed

Anyone having problems with release images?

Last days I noticed that there the option to manage images is not available, there is no album cover preview and no cover images are being downloaded.

I check in the console and I have a message that said.

Code: [Select]
foo_discogger: Unable to read album thumbnail from cache, index: 0

I have the same problem on random releases, that either no image or only the artist's image is accessible.

I checked the downloaded release json in the cache (https://pastebin.com/rtf8WGqB) and all cover images are there. But in the UI it's only the artist or "manage artwork" checkbox is inactive.

Please do the checkbox "excl. those defined in Tag mapping".
foo_discogs removes all the tags (when checkbox is set) and write all info from Discogs.
in case of foo_discogger i must select additionally what tags to be removed or rewritten . it's not convenient.
Thanks in advance.

Hey again. I'm trying to update tags of a release but it doesn't work - it doesn't update, even when DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID is set to write+update. I have latest version installed.

OK, nevermind - I cleared release cache and it helped.

Would it be possible for Discnumber/Totaldiscs to be only tagged for Multidiscreleases?
Same question for Album Artist, i only want i present for releases with multiple Artists. Thanks!

Hmm, is there something I don't understand? Newb - using it for the first time. (foo_discogger for fb2k v2 x64)

Now I search for Antonín Dvořák - filter set to: "Complete Piano Trios". I want to tag with this one: https://www.discogs.com/de/master/1758455-Suk-Trio-Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k-The-Complete-Trios-For-Piano-Violin-And-Violoncello-Trio-No-1-In-B-flat-Major-Op-2

The Plugin always wants to look through 139 result pages, which takes a very long time so in effect I cannot use the plugin. I'm even willing to feed it the correct URL and let it do basic tagging, is that possible?

I've put the above URL into the URL field bottom right, it found some Pointer Sisters music.

EDIT: OK, I should look deeper into it myself, I will read test more extensively, read info at Github etc... already achieved some very promising results, great stuff. Until now, I've always used freedb to do the basic work, then manually made changes.

Thx
If you know Release ID/URL - fill the correspond field (at the lower right corner of) ;)
Then press Next.

Nice work on the plugin!

One possible bug I noticed (v1.0.21.1): when writing tracks for a 12" record, TRACK_DISC_TRACK_NUMBER is showing 1 for both the A and B side, and RELEASE_TOTAL_DISCS is also showing 1.

Hi, how can I access/write the artist (or label) name with the number in parentheses (when multiple entries exist)?

Re: foo_discogs

This is because unfortunately the plugin by default does not delete the disk cache.
It's bizarre and nobody loves it, but @da yuyu has not had a chance to fully fix it yet.

The most complete way to fix this is to find the artist ID in the disk cache and delete it altogether (or if you're feeling extreme, delete all the artist folders...)
I do suggest clearing the cache in the plugin preferences as well - it's in the Cache tab.

Open your foobar2000 profile folder (if you don't know it, open File menu, Directories, browse Profile Directory).
From there, go to the foo_discogger-cache subfolder.
Then open artists subfolder.

Now you need to find the artist ID - e.g. go to Moby's main page on Discogs:
https://www.discogs.com/artist/1031-Moby
His ID is 1031.

Just delete that folder and then look up the artist/release again.

Nope.
Press and keep pressed Shift , then in foobar2000  - File, then Browse Configuration Folder.

HI.

I installed "foo_discogger", since "foo_discogs" doesn't work on 64bit systems.

I obtained a PIN code from DiscoGS with which I generated a "token" and a "secret".

But it seems that the component doesn't work: it always returns an empty response for any album I ask for tags.



What could be the problem?

Re: foo_discogs

Possibly silly question, but did you double-click the artist name in the left-hand column to load the releases?

A question is never silly. But it's always annoying to have to guess that a simple click isn't enough to get a result and instead is necessary a double click.

Re: foo_discogs

Yeah it's annoyed me a fair bit at times!

I'd say the reasoning is that some artists have pages & pages of results, and if just highlighting the artist triggered the loading of releases, it could result in a lot of requests.

I updated to the attached beta after getting the same error. However, now it won't write tags nor show all fields like before even though my tag mappings look correct and they are definitely filled on the Discogs site. Did something happen with the mappings in the background or do I need to reset something?

I'm using foo_discogger.  How do I embed images into tags?  I Right-Click >> Click Embed then I Right-Click >> Save Artwork, but it's not saving to the file.
What's the difference between Write Tags and Plain Write Tags?
Where is the best documentation?
Is there a way to automatically open the Discogs entry according to the Discogs Release# in the tags?
Windows 10 | Foobar2000 v2.0 Portable | Columns 2.1.0 | SQLite Utilities 3.0.4 | SQLite Tree 4.0.6

I'm not sure how far @da yuyu has gotten with implementing it, but "Plain Write Tags" is meant to try and just update the standard ID3 tags, and not write the extended DISCOGS tags. (i.e. update %genre% and not write %DISCOGS_GENRES%)

While foo_discogger works very well in my experience, the documentation is probably one of the reasons @da yuyu doesn't want to add this version of the Discogs tagger to the foobar2000 components repo yet.
In the meantime this thread is probably the best place to ask about features, and you can search the thread (that's actually how I reminded myself about "Plain Write Tags".

I don't embed tags myself, so I'm not 100% sure how it's meant to work. That said, there's an option for embedding artwork in the component's configuration (via the Discogger right-click menu and also in Preferences), and if you select that I would assume the artwork is embedded in the files when tagging.

Re opening the Discogs release page, that's available in the right-click menu too, and you can set a keyboard shortcut in foobar2000 Preferences. Add new shortcut, and filter by "web release page" and you can select the command under [context].
Not sure if this is what you mean by "automatically".

Hello, long-time plugin user, but new forum user.
I am using the foo_discogger plugin for the 64-bit version of foobar2000. I am trying to enable/use the "Composer" tag mapping, to have all "Written-By" credits added to the file tag. However, it seems to only add one composer even though there are several on the track.
See examples below. This is an .m4a (iTunes AAC) file, in case that matters.

Default "Composer" file tags before re-tagging  (track number - title - composers):
X

After re-tagging with the Composer tag mapping (all 3 credits are on the Discogs release):
X

I use the following tag settings: Write + Update with this (default) tagging string:
Code: [Select]
$flatten($multi_if($any($multi_strcmp($sextend(%<<TRACK_CREDITS_SHORT_ROLES>>%,%<<RELEASE_CREDITS_SHORT_ROLES>>%),'Written-By')),$multi_if($put(aj,$sextend(%<<TRACK_CREDITS_ARTISTS_JOIN>>%,%<<RELEASE_CREDITS_ARTISTS_JOIN>>%)),$joinnames($put(an,$sextend(%<<TRACK_CREDITS_ARTISTS_NAME>>%,%<<RELEASE_CREDITS_ARTISTS_NAME>>%)),$get(aj)),$get(an)),))
Using only Write or only Update doesn't seem to make a difference.

Can anyone help - can I change anything myself, in order to have all Written-By credits included in the file tag, rather than only the first WB credit (alphabetically)?
Thanks.

EDIT: Soooo, it would seem that it does indeed matter that this is an .m4a file. I tried converting the file to an .mp3 file and then re-tagging the file - and the WB credits show up as intended, all three of them. So apparently an .m4a file can't really handle the way the plugin writes the tags, but that's at least good to know if I buy iTunes releases in the future - I have to convert them to .mp3 files to be able to re-tag the correctly with the Composer tag.
